UPDATE - 11 MAY 2025 (from foster family): Chaz is settling in fine with the help of his beagle brother. He loves to pack with him sitting on the furniture or even in the truck for rides! He’s about 99% potty trained and only has made a few mistakes in the house. He’s great on walks and is leash trained. He loves a long leisure walk so he can take in all the sights along the way. Chaz is still getting used to being left alone in the house while his foster Mom and Dad go away, but he’s getting better with time. Chaz recently had a day out at Two Silos Brewery and did great with other dogs and children. Chaz would probably benefit the most from having another dog in the household and someone who would be home most of the day as he loves companionship.
UPDATE - 26 APRIL 2025: Great news - Chaz went off to a foster home today after enjoying some time at our adoption event! He has the softest fur! Stay tuned as we see how this boy adjusts to living in a house.
UPDATE - 25 JANUARY 2025: What a fun boy! Chaz came to our Adoption Day today and had a blast! He is an active boy who definitely has some energy, but he was friendly and got along with everyone. Chaz has a beautiful coat of soft fur. If you are looking for a younger boy with lots of energy who will love going on long walks, Chaz may be the boy for you!
UPDATE - 18 JANUARY 2025: Chaz is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption.
NEW - 4 JANUARY 2025: This beautiful boy with the soft look is Chaz. He is friendly and good with other dogs. He was a stray from the Amelia County Animal Shelter in Virginia, so his history is unknown. He will be available soon.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
